NORFOLK, Va. — A couple of cold fronts will cross the area by Wednesday night, pushing cooler air into the region. An area of cold high pressure will follow behind the fronts, reinforcing the cool air.
The line of showers will continue to move to the south. The northeast North Carolina will see the last of the rain leave by 6-7 pm. A couple of isolated showers will pop up overnight, but most of us will remain dry.
With north to northeast winds returning, expect a cooldown tonight with cooler-than-normal temperatures on Thursday. Lows will fall to the lower to middle 50s around the coast with 40s inland. Highs will rise to the upper 50s and lower 60s at best.
Temperatures will warm up, just in time for the weekend. Friday will still be on the cooler side with highs in the middle 60s. At least there will be a lot of sunshine to round out the work week.
We'll stay dry through the weekend, with temperatures near seasonal averages on Saturday and well above normal on Sunday and Monday, in the lower 80s. That's because high pressure will slide offshore, ushering in south winds. South winds transport warm, moist into the region.
After the rain chances today, our next shot at wet weather won't come until the early to middle part of next week ahead of our next cold front.
